Good work by Freddy today. Not flawless, but if Anderson catches a routine fly ball, he goes at least 6 scoreless. Exactly the start this team needed. -
Not really how it works. Bush would need to have a legit injury that warrants a stay on the 60-day IL. You can't use it to stash guys you are hoping to "get right".
-
All good points. I don't know, though. He just "seems" like a Packers-type pick, especially in a draft where it seems more and more fans have fallen in love with the idea of drafting JSN. If one of the top Edge guys like Anderson or Wilson, or a stud like Jalen Carter inexplicably falls out of the top 10, I could see the Packers grabbing one of those guys too. Personally, JSN would be really fun. I'd love it. But taking him at #13 is not the Packers' M.O. That's why I don't see it happening.
-
Freddy is in dire need of a "get right" start today. With Woody down and Burnes scuffling, he needs to step up as the stopper.
-
Considering Frelick is out until mid-June at the earliest, that may take awhile.
-
Even if Jordan Love doesn't end up being "it", drafting him lit a fire under Rodgers, which led to two MVP awards and two NFC Championship game appearances, which then enabled the Packers to deal a near 40-year-old Rodgers for a package that arguably has a higher value than the 26th pick in the 1st round, plus the 4th rounder, that they used to draft Love. I have never bought the argument that Love was a bad pick because that 2019 Packers team was "one player away" from being a Super Bowl team. That 2019 team was winning on smoke and mirrors, and Rodgers didn't look particularly great that year. But in 2020 and 2021 he was miraculous. Maybe I'm looking at the situation with green and gold-tinted glasses, but IMO, Jordan Love would need to be pretty terrible for that 2020 pick to end up looking bad.

I personally think Skoronski is going to be the pick. Start him at guard this year, then kick him out to LT in 2024 when Bahk is gone. You have a top notch LT for the next decade.
-
Tom may be solid in time, but needs to add strength to be a starting NFL tackle. Jones and Walker are big time projects. Just saying ... I don't know if I personally would advocate for it, but knowing how this team operates, it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if tackle is the pick at #13. It's gonna piss off a lot of fans, but in the end, it's hard to argue with replenishing talent in the trenches. Pete Skoronski is the type of guy you can throw out at LT and forget about for the next decade.
-
He's just the latest WR that Packers Twitter has fallen in love with. I've seen how this movie ends. Typically its with an OT or DT/DE at #13, and Packers Twitter throwing fits. But the big guy is almost always the better choice.
-
They are very thin at tackle as well. All indications are that Bahk is gone after this year, and Yosh is an UFA. Maybe one of the developmental guys works out, but I'd like to see more of a sure thing. I know they have had luck with mid-round guys in the past, but if one of those blue-chippers is there, they have to consider it.
-
Drafting a WR in the 1st round three days after trading your franchise cornerstone QB would be either simply delicious irony, or a tremendous troll job by Gute on the armchair GM porton of this fanbase.
-
If it gets to that point, their season has already turned into a dumpster fire. But knowing the Jets media and fanbase, that is a topic that will most definitely come up.
-
I think it's important to note that it's the Patriots who the Packers jumped going from #15 to #13. The Patriots are a well-run organization, and seem to more often than not have many of the same draft "needs" that the Packers typically do year-to-year. And right now, the Patriots biggest draft needs are WR at tackle ... two spots where it can be assumed the Packers are also looking at with #13. If a WR like Jaxon Smith-Njigba or a tackle like Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones or Peter Skoronski are there, they could very well be the pick. Bahktiari is likely gone after this year.
-
Best case scenario for the Packers is for Rodgers to basically be an iron man (which wouldn't be surprising), but also show his age and have the team hovering around .500. After he breaks that 65% threshold, lose the rest. Bench him, I don't care. Chances are good that the Jets are solid, and that pick would be in the 20s. But there is also a pretty strong chance that it's in the teens. Pretty outside shot of it being a top 10 pick, because if the Jets are playing that poorly, they'll bench Rodgers so they don't lose a high 1st.
-
Guess we better hope that this is the "glass is half empty" viewpoint, then. Burnes and Freddy are a pretty great 1-2 punch at the top. Lauer (despite not at mid-season velo levels quite yet) has been good. Miley has been good. Rea (against all odds) has been serviceable. Yes, Houser is injury prone, but right now he's your 5-6th starter, even with Woody out for a while. I agree that the team cannot afford more injuries to their starters -- especially Burnes and Peralta. They lost a near ace-level pitcher in Woody two starts into the year. There are only a handful of teams that have the starting depth to be able to handle a blow like that and still remain competitive. It is very fortunate that, at least on paper, the Brewers are one of those teams.
-
They are 15-7 ... with Burnes pitching lackluster by his standards, but still not terribly. They'll be OK IMO.
-
clancy has been on the Suter bandwagon even since the guy was drafted. It is very nice that Suter ended up defying his draft pedigree and making an impact for the Brewers, but at the same time, clancy has never stopped patting himself on the back for essentially "predicting" Suter's success. Case in point ... this article.

Should have kept hiura
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to pipesmoker22's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Hiura has destroyed AAA pitching every time they've sent him down over the last 3 years. The fact that he's destroying AAA pitching once again shouldn't surprise anyone. For him to get back to the majors, he's going to have to prove that he's made significant changes to the approach that had him striking out at a 40+% clip last season. It also wouldn't hurt if he devoted more time to making himself into a solid defensive option somewhere on the diamond. It is encouraging to see him getting time in the corner OF, and to see him making significant game-saving type plays out there. If he proves that he can play in the field and not be a terrible liability, and he continues to rake while reducing the swing-and-miss tendencies he's developed over the last few years, there's a chance we may see him in a Brewer uniform again. If anything, the production may convince another team to give up something in a trade to take a chance on him. -
Perkins it is ...
-
I'd be extremely surprised if Frelick gets the call, especially since Perkins is hitting better, is probably a better defensive CF, and is already on the 40-man.

NL Central Discussion
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
*right now I have no doubt that the Cardinals will be in the thick of things. But that doesn't mean that I'm not enjoying the predictions that their starting rotation would be terrible coming true. They'll probably eventually find some no-name starter in the minors to come in and reel off 15 wins with a sub-3 ERA, and likely con some poorly-run team into handing over a top starter for peanuts at the deadline. It seemingly happens every year. -

Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Only cause the Reds are just a smidge more of a dumpster fire than the Cards right now. -
Hold up obviously isn't on Rodgers. I firmly believe that the Packers have attached a value to Rodgers, though, and are refusing to come off of it. As is their right. It's a little bit of a game of chicken right now. Some speculation out there of what the return package may look like, but nothing concrete. I give both teams credit for keeping most leaks under wraps.
-
I have absolutely no doubt that they will figure it out, some no-name middle infielder named Skippy McGillicuddyson will matriculate out of thin air to hit .380 for them the 2nd half of the season, they'll con some team into handing them an ace and a closer at the deadline for a couple A-ball rejects, and they'll be in the hunt again come September. Because Cardinals.

Frat bro-looking dude looks like he spends all of his off-time on the leg press machine. That might have something to do with it.
